Brazil runs the rule over World Cup rivals

The national team’s assistant coach, Carlos Alberto Parreira, says that they have recruited two former players to scout the opposition and are gathering as much information as they can.

Luiz Felipe Scolari’s right-hand man claims that Brazil ‘will not be surprised’ by any opponent during the World Cup.

Lance!Net reports that Parreira said: "Roque Junior and Gallo are our observers. We are thinking ahead. We have already observed 16 [teams]. Everything you can imagine. We cannot restrict it to one team. We will not be surprised in this aspect."
